A journey through the world of martial arts

Chapter 250 Rampaging Evil Lightning
Seeing that the differentiated phantoms had already entangled the golden light, the water demon Biqing had a thought. Her hand suddenly expanded with the Azure Wave Silk, instantly transforming into a sky-covering curtain. All that Mu Yang Zhenren and the other two saw was a green curtain. As the protective light around them rose, a force of pressure crashed down from the green curtain. Most of the attack was directed at Yuan Ming, while a small portion was aimed at Mu Yang Zhenren and Duan Jing.

Yuan Ming froze, sensing something was wrong. He hurriedly shielded the two puppets in front of him. Just after he did this, a powerful shock made him see stars, and the protective shield around him shattered almost simultaneously. Because Yuan Ming couldn't control them in time, the two puppets were swept away by the Weak Water and immediately turned into a pile of rotten wood. After the Weak Water washed them away, nothing was left.

Just as the Weak Water was about to reach him, Yuan Ming hurriedly poured his magic power into the talisman. A fiery shield enveloped him, blocking the Weak Water from entering.

Seeing this, Yuan Ming was secretly pleased, but then he became determined. Bi Qing was the first to come to him, which meant she didn't take him seriously at all. If that was the case, then he would show her what he was capable of.

Protected by the Yin energy, Yuan Ming immediately summoned the "Twelvefold Palaces". Just as the palaces appeared, Bi Qing suddenly turned her eyes and the Weak Water rushed towards the sky. At the same time, the Azure Waves and Green Light above the sky flashed and curtains fell, turning this area into a maze filled with Azure Light.

This formation is called "Nine Turns and Whirlpools". It was only successful because the water demon used magical artifacts. This formation contains the Netherworld Weak Water and various water-based magical artifacts. If you are not careful, you may fall into the water vortex and have your soul and body devoured.

At this moment, Jin Guang shattered the last illusion with a single sword strike. Looking at the several vortexes that appeared before him, he casually cast a talisman. Stirred by the water, it immediately scattered into specks of light. Jin Guang's eyes narrowed slightly, and with a thought, a crimson sword light slashed forward. The sword light flickered for a moment, and the vortexes shattered instantly. Boundless water vapor rose up, appearing extremely eerie and sinister under the illumination of the azure light.

Master Muyang and Duan Jingxing were together when they saw the emerald curtain. Just then, they heard a sudden rush of water. Master Muyang's expression changed, and he quickly shielded Duan Jingxing behind him. With a flick of his whisk, a ball of intense flames surrounded the two of them. Just as the flames encircled them, black water arrows struck the flames. With a hissing sound, the water arrows instantly turned into plumes of black smoke, which continuously surged into the flames.

Seeing this, Master Muyang gave a soft shout and waved his whisk repeatedly. Wisps of flame condensed into clouds, completely enveloping the black mist that had suddenly attacked. In a short while, he refined it.

Just as Master Muyang made his move, Duan Jing's mind stirred, and a jade light flashed around his body. An avatar floated out from his body and, under the protection of his magic power, passed through the flames and black mist. Its speed increased and it charged directly at the water demon. When it was about half a zhang away from the water demon, the avatar suddenly brightened, and a dazzling light shone right in front of the water demon.

The water demon Biqing's expression changed slightly. She reached out and grabbed a green curtain that fell from the sky, blocking out the blinding light. But as soon as she finished doing this, a sharp sword light came flying through the air. She couldn't dodge in time, and one of her arms was severed off at the shoulder. Biqing groaned and hurriedly retreated after retracting her severed arm.

At the same time, Master Muyang swept away the surrounding black mist, and boundless flames transformed into fire dragons, attacking Biqing.

Bi Qing's face was very ugly at this moment. She had been careless just now. Although Duan Jing was not the best at attacking, his ability to conceal his true intentions made her very wary. Although the damage caused by the sword light was not enough to make her lose her fighting ability, it was undoubtedly very disadvantageous for the battle to come.

As Bi Qing retreated, the Azure Wave Ribbon above the sky became somewhat unstable, and the formation trembled. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the two swords behind the golden light flew into the sky and slashed. With a crisscrossing slash, the sky immediately revealed a crack. Then, it was hit by the surging golden light, and the crack gradually widened, soon revealing the true color of the sky.

Jin Guang sheathed his twin swords, took out his spirit guide disc, and determined the direction. He moved instantly and soon saw Bi Qing flying towards him. At this moment, three more streaks of light behind Bi Qing were constantly approaching. Jin Guang's eyes sharpened, and he flicked his twin swords, ordering them to lie in ambush to the side. Then he summoned the "Chongzheng Fangtian Seal" into the air and activated his magic power. Strands of white light spread out continuously, and after a few breaths, they covered the surrounding area for several miles.

As Bi Qing was flying away, she suddenly felt a pang of fear. Just then, the spiritual light above the sky shattered, and the Azure Wave Silk could not withstand the Chongzheng Fangtian Seal, which drifted down into Bi Qing's hand.

Looking at the dimmed Bibo Ling, Bi Qing's heart sank. She had used almost all the means at her disposal, but still could not kill a single person. If this continued, she would be surrounded and killed sooner or later.

"Hasn't the matter with the Holy Emperor been settled yet?"

As Bi Qing was pondering how to break the deadlock, a heavy pressure suddenly fell upon her, causing her to catch her breath and slow down her escape speed. While she was pausing, the three streaks of light chasing after her sped up and arrived three zhang away from her in the blink of an eye, a very close distance for Mu Yang Zhenren and the others.

Seeing this, Bi Qing didn't wait for Mu Yang Zhenren and the other two to regain their footing. She waved her hand, and countless emerald arrows rushed towards them. However, Mu Yang Zhenren was prepared. He flicked his whisk and swept it away, and balls of blazing flames flew out. They swept in the air and swallowed all the emerald arrows without causing a ripple.

Just as Master Muyang made his move, Biqing seemed to realize that this move would not be effective. She immediately split her body in an instant, and dozens of her clones, flashing with emerald light, flew off in all directions.

This technique is Bi Qing's most superior life-saving technique, called "Ten Thousand Streams and a Thousand Rivers". As long as one of her clones escapes, she will not die, but will only lose some magical power.

Although Master Muyang did not know the origin of this supernatural power, he was an experienced fighter. Seeing that Biqing was missing and so many clones appeared in the arena, there must be something strange about it.

"Lord Duan, Lord Yuan, we cannot let even one of your clones escape."

Master Muyang's expression turned serious. He gave a shout and immediately took the lead, waving his whisk. Streams of fire dragons continuously wrapped around the fleeing clone. With just a gentle stir, the clone was shattered, and the remaining moisture was instantly evaporated.

Upon hearing this, Duan Jing and Yuan Ming attacked simultaneously. Yuan Ming summoned the Twelvefold Sword, and with a single breath, he sucked a portion of the water demon's clones into the palace gate. The remaining clones were continuously destroyed by Duan Jing with his white jade sword. Although the three of them did their best to kill the clones, some of them gradually moved away. Just as True Person Mu Yang was getting anxious, a miserable scream was suddenly heard, and streaks of white lightning descended from the sky, striking the fleeing clones one after another. With just one strike, all the water demon clones were destroyed.

Just as the clone was destroyed, an elusive figure hovered not far from the three, its eyes filled with malice as it stared at the golden figure in the sky.

"Sect Master Jin Guang!"

The three True Immortals, Mu Yang and his companions, showed surprise and delight, but at the same time looked at the water demon's primordial spirit with hostility.

Knowing she had no chance of survival under the four-person attack, the water demon Biqing said sarcastically, "Even if you kill me, what can you do? The Heavenly Demon's attack on the Seven Fiends is the inevitable trend of heaven and earth, and it is impossible to reverse. Once the Heavenly Demon descends to the mortal realm, all of you so-called righteous people will be reduced to the lowest level of beings. As for Gu Xu, he will be the best sacrifice that the Holy Monarch offers to the Heavenly Demon!"

As soon as the water demon finished speaking, Jin Guang's expression changed. He channeled his magic power, and the Chongzheng Fangtian Seal flashed with light. A white light tried to trap the water demon's primordial spirit, intending to capture it and interrogate it in detail. However, the water demon Bi Qing's eyes were filled with madness at this moment. She laughed loudly a few times, and suddenly her aura surged rapidly, releasing a destructive aura.

Upon seeing this, Jin Guang immediately shouted, "Everyone be careful! The water demon is about to self-destruct its primordial spirit!"

"You will all be buried with me!"

The water demon laughed maniacally, then detonated the Nine Nether Weak Water hidden within his primordial spirit. With a deafening roar, streams of black water surged towards the four. Jin Guang swept his sleeve, quickly setting up dozens of defenses in front of them. At the same time, he drew his twin swords, unleashing two layers of sword circles. Meanwhile, the three, including Mu Yang Zhenren, each released their divine powers and magical artifacts. The Twelvefold Tower was at the forefront, followed closely by the White Jade Vajra Ring, with Mu Yang Zhenren's Samadhi Fire Lotus at the very back.

The Weak Water swept through dozens of defenses in succession, only stopping when it reached the sword circle and was cleaved by the sword light. Meanwhile, the three members of the Mu Yang True Man's group were struggling to cope. After all, this was a water demon sacrificing its primordial spirit, and with the Weak Water being so vicious, this attack was nothing short of world-destroying. The twelve palace gates simultaneously opened, but they still couldn't withstand such immense power. In just a few breaths, the twelve palace gates were reduced to their original form, their spiritual light dimmed. The white jade Vajra Ring, eroded by the Weak Water, also collapsed one after another. Finally, Duan Jing couldn't hold on any longer and had no choice but to retrieve the treasure.

"Master, be careful!" Duan Jing said to Master Muyang with a pale face, then hurriedly swallowed a few pills in an attempt to restore his depleted magical power.

Upon hearing this, Master Muyang replied earnestly, "This humble Taoist understands. Master Duan and Pavilion Master Yuan should adjust their breathing as soon as possible."

Although Ruoshui defeated Erbao in succession, its offensive was no longer as fierce as before. With a surge of power from Muyang Zhenren, the Samadhi Fire Lotus moved in mid-air, and countless fiery lotus flowers appeared in the sky, linked together by flames to form a fire net. The moment Ruoshui touched it, the two forces clashed and fought fiercely, smoke rose, and firelight flickered. This continued for a long time until Ruoshui finally ran out of steam and was soon enveloped by the fire net formed by the Samadhi Fire Lotus.

Upon seeing this, Master Muyang's eyes flashed with a sharp light. With a flick of his magic, the Weak Water was rapidly refined. In less than a quarter of an hour, the boundless Weak Water had been condensed into a dark water droplet, floating in mid-air and sealed off by the fire net on all sides.

“Sect Master Jin Guang, this Weak Water is extremely dangerous. I know I cannot suppress it, so I will trouble Sect Master Jin Guang to take it away.”

Master Muyang bowed to the golden light that was flying towards him. With a flick of his whisk, the fire net transformed into a Samadhi Fire Lotus, enveloping the Nine Nether Weak Water in a red light, and slowly landed in front of him.

Upon hearing this, Jin Guang glanced at Mu Yang Zhenren and then said, "If that's the case, then I thank you on behalf of all the people of the world."

If no one controls the Nine Nether Weak Water, it's nothing special. As for what True Person Mu Yang said about not being able to deal with it, it was just a polite remark. The reason he did this was to befriend the Xuanxin Orthodox Sect.

"Then I'll have to trouble Jin Guangzong to take action."

With a thought, Master Muyang withdrew the fire lotus. As the red light dissipated, a golden talisman enveloped the Weak Water. With a flash of light, the Weak Water vanished.

Duan Jing and Yuan Ming's pupils constricted slightly; this talisman...

Just as the two were about to take a step forward, a series of shocking explosions suddenly rang out. From the nearest point, the shockwaves soared into the sky, disrupting the heavens and earth, and the array formed by the Gathering Cloud Banner was instantly broken.

"This is!"

Duan Jing and Mu Yang Zhenren exclaimed in surprise, while Jin Guang's expression changed drastically, and he said in a deep voice, "Breaking Yuan Profound Absolute Gang Thunder!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Ming was startled. This Broken Yuan Profound Thunder was the most powerful type of thunder in the world. It was said to be made by the Yin Moon Dynasty by collecting the essence of heaven and earth and refining the turbid Qi of the Nine Yin. Once this thing was released, it would destroy all things and overturn the universe. If even a tiny bit of it touched the body, it would quickly spread throughout the body, and neither the soul nor the body could escape, resulting in the complete annihilation of the soul.

Yuan Ming only learned about the origin of this object when the Demon Lord Liudao used it to destroy the thirty-six spirit general puppets of the Thousand Machine Pavilion. The scene from many years ago was still vivid in his mind.

Duan Jing and Mu Yang Zhenren were unfamiliar with this object. After Yuan Ming explained it to them, they exchanged a glance and saw the fear in each other's eyes. Without waiting for a reply, the golden light immediately transformed into a streak of light and rushed towards the nearest place. Seeing this, Mu Yang Zhenren and the other two followed closely behind. In just a few breaths, the four of them arrived at the Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird's location, but what they saw before them greatly surprised them.

The Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird generals were being relentlessly slashed by a ball of black lightning. Every time their protective shields were hit, they would shrink inward a little. At this moment, the shields had been reduced to just an inch outside their bodies, and any more would have hit the Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird.

The demon controlling the black orb no longer had a ferocious expression on its face; instead, it had become quite sinister. When it saw the four golden figures appear, a cunning smile appeared on its face.

Upon seeing this, Jin Guang's anger flashed for a moment. He surged with magical power, and one golden talisman after another rushed towards the black light. However, just as the golden talismans reached within half a zhang of the black light, they suddenly shattered silently.

Seeing this, Master Muyang reached out and activated the Samadhi Red Lotus, sending out a series of fire dragons that attacked the black light cluster. However, the result was the same as before. Duan Jing and Yuan Ming frowned at this, one of them unleashing a white jade sword light and the other releasing a green wood puppet.

As the white jade sword light and the green wood puppet were swallowed by the ball of light, a glint flashed in Jin Guang's eyes. He shouted and raised his hand, causing the Chongzheng Fangtian Seal to radiate brilliant light. A beam of bright white light struck the black ball of light directly, leaving it with no way to avoid it. It was momentarily stunned, but at that moment, two sword lights slashed vertically in the sky. The sword lights intersected, and the black ball of light was immediately divided into three neat halves.

The Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird were struggling to hold on, but seeing an opportunity, they simultaneously channeled all their magical power into their respective magical artifacts. Two beams of light, one azure and one crimson, shot into the sky, while the black ball of light was entangled by the sword light and could not do anything about it for the time being.

Seeing this, the evil spirit's eyes sharpened, and it activated its magic again. The black light that had been split into three halves quickly merged back together, constantly pushing the sword light away. However, with the evil spirit making such a move, Mu Yang Zhenren and the other two did not just wait idly. They stopped dealing with the black light and instead launched an attack on the evil spirit.

The evil spirit sneered, and a flash of black light appeared around it. The three attacks rushed into it but had no effect whatsoever. However, the golden light had already achieved its goal of rescuing the dragon and the vermilion bird. Seeing that the dragon and the bird had escaped danger, the golden light nodded to the three of them. The three of them, including Mu Yang Zhenren, immediately understood and launched another attack.

Just as the attack was about to be swallowed up, the demon suddenly saw two sword lights tearing through the black light and rushing towards him. He was horrified, realizing that he had not noticed the danger at all and had not even been alerted.

"It must be the Chongzheng Fangtian Seal!"

The demon's heart sank. Looking at the chilling sword light, it opened its mouth and spat out a black pearl that met the sword light head-on. With just one strike, the sword light was shattered, but the pearl also dimmed a bit.

The evil spirit reluctantly put away the precious pearl. This was a magical artifact related to its life. Apart from the evil spirit flag, it had spent almost 90% of its refining time on this object, so its power was naturally quite remarkable.

Jin Guang instructed Qinglong and Zhuque to rest aside. Then, his mind raced, and the two swords Ganjiang and Moye charged towards the evil spirit again, intending to cut it down!
